Saygus, a company I’d never heard of, is apparently hard at working creating it’s first Android cell phone, the Saygus V Phone – V1. The V1 has me thinking there might be more down the pipe, V2, V3…V100. Whatever. Ok, back to what they have in work now. Follow the [...] to see the specs

Hmmm, not sure about going with 624Mhz, and the RAM/ROM space is once again a little low, but the screen sounds nice, 800×480, and the video calling feature is very interesting. I also like the inclusion of the FM radio, but it’d be better with HD Radio. Am I right? Anyone, those are specs to laugh about, looking like a solid phone. The news releases on the Saygus website hint that this will go to Verizon, but it could easily be offered to Sprint as well. It’s not the greatest looking phone, but it’s a good start.
